Bow stolen, please help!
 
Hi everyone, just asking for a little help from my fellow bowhunters. I had a bow strolen from my truck Sunday and was hoping if everyone could help keep and eye out for me. The bow is an LEFT HANDED 08' Hoyt Katera XL in Realtree AP camo, Copper John Fiber wrap sight, Drop Zone rest, and 6 carbon express arrows with 85 gr Thunderhead broadheads. It also had a Tru-ball release hooked to it. The authorities have been notified, and the local bowshops, and pawn shops. Ilive in MD and am very close to the PA line, the help Im asking for is I know alot of you visit other forums, and sites where they sell stuff, could you please keep an eye out?? I mean its Lefthanded and its brand new, so it should stick out a little. Thanks everyone for helping me, im sure you understand my total frustration and just sickness to lose my $1200 bow during hunting season. PM me with any info.

I had a Truth2 taken out of my worktruck, they broke out a window on the passenger side...State Farmcovered the loss that time, but it was Commercial coverage...but I have had plumbing tools taken at other times that they did not cover from previous thefts...maybe the insurance thing will work in this case...hope so!

If you have comp insurance coverage then it would be covered. Comp covers, glass, acts of nature, and theft. Wont be quick, you will have to prove the coast loss. GL man

Do you have a backup bow to hunt with this season?

man that just sucks dog doo. why must people do this crap to people who work hard to get the things theyve always wanted. I woudl think your insurance would cover it. I know under my full coverage auto plan anything that is stolen out of my vehicles will be replaced at no cost, as long as theirs proof of forced entry. I hope it turns up for you or you get reimburssed. Good luck.

Keep an eye on Craig's List too. A guy around here had his golf cart stolen from his cabin and they found it listed there and recovered it.

Someone catch the SOB then contact the forum here and everyone go beat the hell out of him. He need it... I hate thieves.

Which part of Maryland are you from? I live in Chambersburg, just north of Hagerstown so I will keep an eye on all the local shops and newspapers.

I'll do what I can to keep an eye for you even though you are a Ravens fan.[:'(]J/K, hopefully we'll catch the guy.

try posting a want ad for your bow. basically just put an ad out saying you want to buy an 08 left handedhoyt katera. then see if he tries to sell it back to ya. i have seen people do this before with a little bit of success.

mossy33oak 10-14-2008 02:52 PM

RE: Bow stolen, please help!
 
Well some sorta good news. My insurance is going to cover all but $250. I called the bowshop and I got a new one coming next week. Thanks for all of your help and yes to the guy from chambersburg please check your shops for me. Thanks to everyone who offered me equipment it really means alot. Luckily here in MD its our early Muzz season so hopefully about the time im ready to bowhunt again Ill have my new one. Keep your eyes open for me and Thanks board bros!!!!

I was just wondering if your truck has hunting decals on it. An officer freind of mine say those are a perfect invite for a thief for guns and bows. Makes sense too.
I have gone the opposite route. I have an Audubon and Nature conservancy decal so when I'm hunting thepukes think I'm bird watching. It's sad but its safe..

Dag gone Charlie bad luck for sure. Did they get into the bed or passenger compartment? I know of someone that left their bow case with bow and all acc sitting on the tail gate. When he got home he was devastated to see it was gone. Back tracked but didn't find it. Insurance covered it all, homeowners I believe.

How is it that you came to have your bow stolen from your truck? Just curious. I'm glad your insurance is covering most of the cost.

Well, I had my bow locked in our Expedition, and the wife decided to go to the grocery store. She moved it from the LOCKED vehicle in my truck and didnt lock the doors. I work 3rd shift, by the timei got home the next day it was gone. a total of 9 hours!!!!

Had mine stolen a couple years ago and it mysteriously showed up at a pawn shop.

I think we should round up all the thieves in the world, put them into one big huge arena and tell them the only person that will be allowed to liveis last guy standing.

Sorry bout what happened to you bro, I hate theives. How do you justtake something that another man worked hard to buy?

So it was in your driveway and when you came home it was gone from the truck. I work in the criminal justice field and I suspect drugies who cruise neighborhoods looking for cheap scores went to your truck, checked the doors, they were open........JACKPOT. The pawnshops are the drop offs for drug users because they need money fast to get more drugs. All thieves should have their fingers cut off for each offense!

I guarantee thats what happened. My friend who is local law enforcement said that heroine is running crazy in this town so Im guessing it was that. Funny thing is we dont have but 2 pawn shops in the county and they were both notified the first day, and have had no bows turned in.

9 hours?!?! Somebody watched your wife put that bow in your truck!!! What are the odds?!?!

It makes me sick to know people steal from others & when I say that, I mean steal property that has significant value to someone. Price doesn't alwaysmatter, it'sthe personal value that it costs for someone. The bad thing is, this is something that price does matter....$1200 bow!?!? That's a terrible loss. Sorry to hear it.

Bastards...how can someone steal and feel goodabout themselves.

Someone said that comp covers stolen property. That is not the case. I don't want no one to be mislead, someone stoled my car about two years ago and took my bow that was in it. Found the car no bow. I found out who he was and needless to say I got my bow back and then some. I don't advocate taking the law into your own hands but sometimes it just happens. Wish you could have seen his face when he came around the back of the gas station.

Thats just crappy.... I would be plain sick if that happened to me.

I agree, but with a slight modification:

Thieves should have all their fingers cut off for the first offense.

"Back in the day", thieves on Navy ships were known to "fall up ladders".;)

I got home from work yesterday and the door to my apartment was sitting WIDE OPEN.. The little part that pops out in to the door frame didn't pop out... My door must have been open for 11 hours yesterday and nothing was missing. I had a $1200 computer sitting on my couch, about $4000 worth of guns, my bow which I have about $700 in, plus tons of other random stuff just laying around. I feel very fortunate, and I am glad that I live in South Dakota. Not that it couldn't happen in SD, but I guess it just usually doesnt.
